Son of folk singer Woody Guthrie. Notably wrote "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", a song lasts for about 30 minutes .


The song tells the story of Alice's Restaurant, which is also the name of a film which tells the same story.

Or to quote one of the song's Carollian twists:

It's not the name of the restaurant, it's just the name of the song, which is why I call the song "Alice's Restaurant".


(compare with the song "Haddock's Eyes" in Through the Looking-Glass")
